Display Pods

Marine Display Pods

Scanstrut® - Un-cut Arm Mount Pod

Install your fish finder and sailing instruments in the place which is the most convenient for you with the help of our display pods. The sad truth is that builders place them where it takes less fuss for them. As an example, speed, depth, and wind displays are typically located on the cockpit bulkhead where they are often blocked by crew members. Fortunately, the aftermarket offers a huge number of new options for more convenient positioning of sailing instruments. For instance, there is a variety of thoughtfully designed pedestals which can accommodate several displays along with special housings made to attach different instruments to pedestal guards.

In our store, we offer you a great variety of pods for most instruments and displays. They are sourced from reliable brands such as Clipper , Scanstrut , and so on which stand behind their products. That means whatever model you purchase from us, you can be sure of its high quality and durability. All units are built to withstand harsh marine environments. As an example, all our power pods are made from ABS plastic which is highly resistant to UV rays and sealed with a water-tight gasket. They feature a swivel base, so the user can adjust the best viewing angle.

Installing a NavPod instrument enclosure and pedestal guard

Inching my way along into my electronics replacement project. Logisitics delays what with the global pandemic have slowed me down and now I’m waiting for a tool to be delivered. I’m bored and thus will make an early-ish entry on the process.

I decided to use a new NavPod assembly mounted on a single-bend 1.25″ pedestal guard. The pod and guard were finally delivered to my local West Marine which remains open as an “essential business,” thankfully. I expected the SailPod housing to be kind of a Chinese-plastic item of dubious quality. I went ahead and ordered without more research, but had I done so:  https://navpod.com/about/  I would have learned that the housings are made in Oregon, and feel very sturdy in person. Expensive, but good value, I say.

There are two gaskets that seal the ‘cup’ and face portions together, one black foam one inside the box, and a second visible gray layer on the outside.

The kit also includes a set of gaskets that seal between the instrument housing and the pedestal guard:

The pod then attaches to only one side of the guard with a seal in-between providing a +/- watertight fit. This is a vast improvement over the original fiberglass box that held my instruments. There were several open holes in the pedestal guard that would allow water in.

The PIA in the DIY part is drilling and tapping the screw holes and wire-entry holes (big holes pictured in the gasket) into the shiny stainless pedestal guard, also from NavPod. I called some local machine shops and nobody wanted to mess with some guy and his stainless steel sailboat rail. I called my local boatyard and they said, “Uhh, let us call you back.” Still waiting on that.

Defaulting back to my Ryobi toolback and self-reliance. [Rodney Dangerfield] “They said put it in a bench vise so I took it to my backyard, and sat on it on my bench. No respect!” [/Rodney Dangerfield]

Pro-tip: Drilling and tapping screws into stainless steel is much more difficult than the same task in aluminum. But I managed.

Drilling the big holes (7/8″ is what NavPod says) to run the wires through is a much bigger pain. Drift pin, pilot hole, wore down some area with my grinder, then bigger bits.

I waited for the delivery of a metal-grinding cylinder bit ( YUFUTOL SA-5 Tungsten Carbide Burr Cylinder Shape Double Cut Rotary Burr File(1/2″ cutter Dia X 1″Cutter Length) with 1/4” Shank dia,Pack of 1  ). Is there a trick I am missing to drill a large precise hole in SS steel with lightweight hand tools?

The YUFUTOL $18 carbide bit I ordered on-line was effective. Scouring out from 1/2″ hole to something like 3/4″.

Roto-Zip? I just made the cut-out for my Furuno radar and used my Roto-ZIp for the cut. Went just fine. Don't see a downside to this. Seemed better than the jig saw I used in the past. It is disconcerting to rip into your new navpod tho. For my new ST 60 install, I took the old ST 50 bezels and clamped a piece of wood on the back and used the hole saw to enlarge the hole in the bezel to handle the 60's larger size. You certainly do need the sharpest cutting tool to avoid melting the pod material. Rick D.  

Be very.. Be very, very, very careful with a Roto-Zip!!!!! It spins far to fast and will melt a NavPod in seconds even if you have the one where you can dial down the speed. Even with my jig saw I went on the absolute slowest speed and paused to let it cool often.. Unless you are using a template, like with a router, a Roto-Zip can be dangerous in soft plastics..  

Roto Zip Meltdown Actually, it did start to melt until I put a new bit in. Then it was no problem as long as I took it reasonably slow. Rick D.

What about a laminate trimer? A laminate trimer is a small hand held router. With a carbide straight bit or even a laminate trimer bit the plastic will not melt back onto itself. Eye protection is absolute.
